HUR./I JEAN LIBBEY-who is Mrs.

Van Mater S. Stilwell outside her

, books-writer

0 novels and plays by

'the score, is to take the hrst real vacation, this

summer, that has been

l hers since fame perch-

ed upon her' active pen and fortune deposited its treasures at her feet.

It was after completing her eightieth

'play a little while ago-she had already written forty or more novels-that ll/I iss Lib- bay--Mrs. Stilwell-threw down her pen in the library on her handsome home in Brook- 'lyn, N. Y., and announced her purpose of tak- ing a rest, of enjoying a' vacation.

Miss Libbey’s claim to fame lies in the

number and heart-throbbing character of her novels, rather than in the construction of plays. Although she is now the authoress of more plays than works of fiction, her novels have made her name known throughout the land; over them young women by hundreds of thousands have wept and laughed.

After having turned out volume after

volume with astonishing ease and rapidity, the widely known authoress will rest a while before devoting herself entirely to playwrit- ing, which she aninounces as the seiious voca- tion af her future.

But what kind of a vacation will appeal to

this prolific authoress whose pen has played upon the heartstrings of thousands of her sex?) She has created many stirring situations for 'her heroines; has she decided upon a summer

of thrilling events for herself?

now, when my brain is in the full flush and vigor of bloom which hns rlpcncd into generous fruit.

There are many close behind cagorly pressing for-

ward to grasp furnnfs laurel branch. Lwoulii give them il chance, whilc hope, youth nnd ambition is theirs, thnt the world might bo bonoiltcd by geniuses who may ra- diate o brighter, more glorious light than any who have gone before. '

I have often wondgrcd if those who road realize how

dear to the nuthor‘s heart are thc cli:ii'not_crs they por- tray; how thoy grlovo with tholr sorroivs and ilcllght in their joys; lf they know tliuro urn noble characters au- thors shed tcrirs o\"i-r wlii-u the last word is written.

In the future i shnll write plays, I somi-limos think

there is much more of my heart in the plays than ln the novels; they will nppcal to those whose lives are incom- plete and lonely, more perhaps than those whose lines have fallon into sunny paths. mingling sunshine and passing clouds, lii~:ii't-thmbs nnrl ti-urs.

Tho dominant thing ln f-:ich ilriima is-lnvo. \Vhy should lt not bo, slnci: lt is lovc that rules the

world, from the mlghtlosi to thc lnwllizst human heart?

Only that omoiimi which is pure, God-given, is digni-

fied hy the noblo name--love.

It is tho golden chalice around which the molden's

roseate dreams hover, nnd which holds the hcart and the happiness of the wife who knows a lovo nobly ro-

turnecl-the rose-bloom which _le\\'els1licr existence.

Can you wonder nt the eager lame that ignites a

nnvolist's longing to see those dear uhziractors upon the stage-iicsh und blood reulltius-mniilng the dreamy

The stage picture is surely thc swcctrst ri-alizntlon

that cuh thrill uns-uuthor's being. and the approval of the public thc crowning joy,

At the vcry nutsot.of my cnrccr_the drama was my

lzencon light nhcud. my gulillng star. Plays have always uppralcil to mo more than novels. I never bcizan o, novel without sketcliinrg out llofnrohond is four-act play per- fect as I coulil make it in cvifry ilctoll.

l do not know how long this vacation of mine is to

lost, but while it docs I nm going to huvi- it merry play- rnjoy cvcry moment in thi\_ linpploi-at, _inlliest way possible,

I have s. dear little garden, and I am going to
